 Majestic creature and deserves to live its life. We might as well start killing all the criminals on the street as we have enough of them too

Why kill such a awsome

Sat, 2013-11-16 19:04

Why kill such a awsome animal?

 

How many shark attacks are from tigers anyway?

 

Not to mention it would've been illegal to kill as its over the maximum size limit.

 

Cheers to the others

 not illegal as the size

Sat, 2013-11-16 19:25

 not illegal as the size limit only applies to whaler sharks. 1 attack last year up at CB.  We are now the shark attack capital of the world. Far to many of the things.

Mon, 2013-11-18 12:14

How possibly can someone just want to kill it. But thats just my opinion.

I am a rogue shark theorist, and if someone is attacked then fair game. But just innocent, let it swim free.
